The femur bone of a dodo and the giant partially fossilised egg of an elephant bird are being put up for auction at Christie's.

A San Diego woman first formed a bond with a Chinese goose at Miramar Lake 20 years ago. After a 10-year break, she went back to the lake and was greeted like she'd never left.

Christie's in London will auction off the world's largest egg, laid by the extinct Elephant Bird. As Felipe Maya reports, it is expected to sell for thousands.

Ready to rock: Bowie Jane on her night job (Picture: Geoff Robinson)
Being called to the bar has taken on a different meaning for barrister Bowie Jane.
By day, she deals with cases of the utmost seriousness. By night, she rocks.
The trouble starts when her secret lives overlap.

‘I’m living two lives at once: by day one person and by night another, and sometimes it can get rather confusing,’ said the 27-year-old.

This three-tonne rhino thought he could get away with throwing his considerable weight around – but a protective camel father was having none of it.
White rhino Marashe was chased away with his tail between his legs after straying too close to Bactrian camel Dougie’s one-month-old calf Nikki.
